English mems Food.

BEEF, BEEF, BUT NOT ENOUGH VEGETABLES FOX
AMERICANS.
In the English restaurants and at English tables
generally, says correspondent, one is particularly
struck with the absence OF any great variety OF
vegetables. There are plenty OF meats fowls,
game, fish, and all the rest Of the solids, but OF
vegetables there is poverty. Potatoes, French

much better and larger and more richly favored

tree would have no show In the world in such an

great luxures They cost at least shilling apiece

elaborate degree of preparation that makes them

they be especially imported from France, and
even those do not bear any comparison to our own

up for good deal In the way or shortage else

a novel reconciliation between married pair who
sought separation. There were sixteen couples in

graph on this complaint and its treatment, find
that among races, the English and American;
among classes, the upper and cultivated; and OF

hay fever. In the north OF Europe 1t is almost un-

Spain; whereas in England it is frequent, and in
America prevalent. Again, 80 per cent Of its
martyrs are OF the upper class while agricultural

the male sex is more liable to 1t than the female,
